Darkness

Is the dark something we see or not see?
When it is pitch dark do we see the darkness or do we not see anything in front of us?
Is the vagrant in darkness because he can not feed himself? Or are we, for not seeing how to help him?
Are our troubled teens in darkness for the crimes they commit? Or are we, for not knowing how to teach them?
Is the mother of a needy child in darkness? Or are we, for not lending a hand?
I know these questions don't have no rhythm or rhyme.
I guess what I am asking is when we sit in darkness and can not see, do we really have to be so blind.

Alan Hart

Stephen Wilson

I look in the mirror
seeing not my own face,
but the mask I wear
as through the world I pace,
dark eyes unconcerned stare
from a serene unworried brow.

Underneath I am the ship without a keel
tossed and thrown by the frenzied waves,
while through the storm swept water of the soul I sail
aching depths sweep up to yearning waves
crashing against the ramparts of my heart to weep and flail.

I look at you pass
seeing not you, only a mask,
and at you I wonder
what do you dream I ask,
needing to talk and ponder
on the beauty of another.

Beneath are you cold and lonely as the night,
or the softest touch of silken moonlight stealing along anothers skin,
venus, rising from the waters to hear a heart sing.
A candle burning in the window leading home kin,
light that shines in the darkness and sends it a baying.

I speak with you now
of this my burning fear.
If we are not unmasked,
then it is nothing we share
and all these things will have passed
like teardrops falling in the rain.

Shadow

Watch within me
Deep within me
Watch as rise a shadow
Lurking in me
Watching with me
Watching is the shadow
Climb within me
Scream as you see
Deepest blackest shadow
Bleeding in me
Screaming, "Set me
Free, for I'm the shadow!"
Watch within me
Fear what you see
Watch as rise a shadow.

to those of my friend who read this i wrote this at a very hard time in my
life i am better and happy as the world will let me get but read it and you
will understand how hard it is sometimes to live

THE EMBRACE OF DARKNESS

LOOK INSIDE YOUR SOUL
AND FIND THE MOST BLACKEST PART
UNFEELING AND UNCARING AND COLD
THEN YOU HAVE A FEELING OF MY SOUL

I EMBRACED DARKNESS
AS SOON AS I WAS BORN
MY FATHER LEFT TO ADD THE FIRST TEAR OF RAIN
INSIDE MY ANGRY STORM

MY SOUL BECAME BLACK
WHEN I SAW MY BEST FRIEND GET SHOT IN THE BACK
ANGER IS WHAT I FEEL
BECAUSE I CANT BRING HIM BACK

PAIN TAKES THE PLACE OF PLEASURE
INSIDE ME IS ANGER
NO PLACE FOR PLEASURE
WANTING REVENGE AT ANY MEASURE

EVIL CONSUMES MY SOUL
PUSHING OUT LOVE
BECAUSE IM COLD
INSIDE MY SOUL

I EMBRACE DARKNESS
AND MY SOULS BLOOD CHANGE
FROM A HALO ON MY HEAD
TO HORNS OF DARKNESS

MY EYES SEE RED
FROM HEARTBREAK AND PAIN
AND PAINFUL VISIONS INSIDE MY HEAD

JOY IS SOMETHING I CANT HAVE
LOVE IS SOMTHING I CANT GIVE
COMPASSION IS SOMETHING I CANT HAVE
BECAUSE I CANT FORGIVE

I EMBRACED AND MY SOUL DIED
SO BLACK TEARS I CRY
AND MY SOUL NEVER CARES
ABOUT ANYONE IT SEEMS
ALONE NOW AND FOREVER
IN THE EMBRACE FOREVER.

Scottie Qualls

Destitute
No more words.
Emotions too strong for words to encompass
are draining my soul tonight.
Loss undermines me.
Pain overtakes me.
I fear to love - and love again.
I'm scared to want - and yet want him.
No more, I beg.
Please let it end.
For fear of losing, I cannot win!

Shall my heart be as granite?
The hope of love be banished?
I cannot resign myself to loneliness
The fairy-tale awaits -
So I choose to believe.
Yet a doubt lingers...

Once love is lost too many times
It's relegated to verse and rhymes,
Existing for some -
But not all.
For some appears a bridge -
For me a wall.

No more words.
Emotions too strong for words to encompass
drain my soul
leaving me destitute.

FUCK YOU FRANK

I'm gonna end my life, wanna know why?
Cause I don't wanna be here, I'd rather die.
I hate this world, and it's people too,
but most of all I hate you.

You played me like a fool, oh! u thought u were sooo kool!
Well take your stupid face and shove it up your ass, you white piece of trash!
You got a new girlfriend..what's her name? marissa?
Well guess what? She's a whore!
But oh, im sorry, aren't those the type you just adore!

I won't even bother tellin you i'm gonna die,
cause you'll laugh it off and say"chill bizkit don't lie"
Well you wan't the truth..here it is,
I'm living in a world of total abliss.

What are u gonna do when i'm dead?
Leave that whore and go out with someone new instead?
I hate you a lot, but i'm totally over you,
I only have one thing to say to you, and that's "FUCK YOU"
Stop messin with people's hearts..why can't u see!
That the person u hurt the most was me!

I 'm gonna go to your house tonight and sit on your lawn,
while the neighbors look out their window and ask what's wrong?
And when your stupid ass comes out that door....and your followed by that
whore,
I'll put the gun to my head, and in a few seconds, BOOM i'll be dead.

The horror in your face will please me a lot,
but what did I die for? DAMN! I forgot!
Did I die for a faggot ass queer?
No I died because I didn't want you near.
